A DEVELOPMENT application to build a large warehouse and distribution centre in Horsley Park has angered Fairfield Council and residents living near the proposed site.

Gazcorp Pty Ltd lodged the application with the Department of Planning and Environment earlier this year to seek approval for stage one of the Gazcorp Industrial Estate on 52 hectares of land at 813-913 Wallgrove Road.

The development is expected to create more than 700 jobs in a variety of sectors including warehousing, distribution and freight transport once complete.

Fairfield Council objected to the development proposal citing acoustic and visual impact on adjoining residential properties.

"This is no different from the Waterhouse application in 2012 [to build an industrial and employment estate on 100 hectares at Horsley Park]," Councillor Lawrence White said.

"We represented the residents in Horsley Park then. This is no different.

"I hope the residents get some solace."

Gazcorp Pty Ltd directors Nabil and Nicholas Gazal did not return calls made by the .

Horsley Park resident Abir Jalalaty said she was outraged with the development proposal.

"It's concerning to see that JBA Planning Consultants, on behalf of Gazcorp Pty Ltd, have used an aerial picture that is over six years old," she said.

"This obviously does not factor in new residential homes built in the area.

Fairfield Council made a submission, objecting to the proposal last Thursday.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Planning and Environment said it would assess the application before providing a recommendation to the Planning Assessment Commission which would make the final decision.
